August 07, 2019 05:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time

FLOWER MOUND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mannatech, Incorporated(NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its second quarter of 2019.

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter net sales for 2019 were $40.7 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 9.8%, as compared to $45.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, our net sales declined 5.5% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below), as compared to the same period in 2018.

Net income was $2.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2019, as compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2018, which included approximately $0.2 million in non-recurring costs related to the corporate office move in our loss from operations.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 80.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 82.0% for the same period in 2018 due to increased inventory write-offs.

Commission and incentives as a percentage of net sales was 40.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 42.8% for the same period in the prior year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, overall selling and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million to $8.4 million, as compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses consisted of a $0.6 million decrease in marketing costs associated with management's decision to conduct Mannafest as a regional event instead of an international event, a $0.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.3 million decrease in distribution and warehouse costs, which was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in payroll costs related to an increase in bonus accruals.

Other operating costs, which include professional fees, travel and entertainment, bad debt, credit card processing fees and other miscellaneous operating expenses, decreased by $2.5 million, or 31.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in operating costs was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in travel and entertainment costs associated with management's decision to conduct Mannafest as a regional event instead of an international event, a $0.7 million decrease in office expenses due to the corporate office relocating during 2018, and a $0.3 million decrease in legal and consulting fees.

The approximate number of new and continuing active independent associates and preferred customers who purchased our packs or products or paid associate fees during the twelve months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were approximately 175,000 and 202,000, respectively. Recruitment of new independent associates and preferred customers decreased 5.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The number of new independent associate and preferred customer positions held by individuals in our network for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately 20,084, as compared to 21,353 for the same period in 2018.

In addition to its reported results and guidance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included adjusted net earnings, a performance measure that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as a “non-GAAP financial measure,” in this release. Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, in each case calculated in accordance with GAAP, can provide useful supplemental information for investors because they facilitate a period to period comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on reported results under GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminating certain items that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance.

The following is a reconciliation of net income or loss, presented and reported in accordance with GAAP, to net earnings, as adjusted for certain items:
